COVID19 - Biopsy Results

These are some crazy times!  I hope everyone is safe and healthy.  We are isolating at home which isn't much different than our norm.  Owen is still doing online school for sixth grade.  All of Kam's University classes were moved to the online platform, which she loves!  Nursing school has moved to online lectures, Vsims in lieu of clinicals and we basically teach ourselves the fundamentals.  Logi has wild energy and keeps us all active and busy.

Owen had a repeat biopsy at Phoenix Children's yesterday to followup on his recent rejection.  His cardiac pressures were elevated which had me on edge, but his echo looks okay (no comparison done yet) and his biopsy results came back as 1A/1R with no antibody rejection present.  His rejection in February was a grade 2, so this is an improvement!!  I will know more on Monday when Stanford reviews the cath report and has all the data to review.  YAY!!

Before all the COVID19 craziness began, Kamryn and Rylee went to Manhattan for Spring Break.  They saw the last Broadway show "Dear Evan Hansen" before they shut it all down.  They had a really good time at the Statue of Liberty, Museum of Natural History, Wall Street, Broadway, and saw everything touristy there was to see.  They even had a scary encounter with a homeless druggy one night. They had a really good time and came home to quarantine for 14 days, before they mandated the stay at home order.  

Nursing school has been the best challenge for me!  We only have four weeks left with three exams, one final and an exit Hesi.  I also have six more hours of online clinicals to complete and a ton of studying.  Our online lecture this week was "end of life" so there's that.  I have made some great friends and am loving the chaos that nursing school brings!

This little cutie is all registered for Kindergarten in the fall, assuming we get this pandemic under control.  He is loving life in isolation as it means he gets more screen time.  The other day I asked him about viruses and he says "they are germs that invade your body and make you sick!"  I love the stage of life he is in and he is such a sweet guy.  I was explaining to him about Owen's biopsy this week and told him they would be removing little pieces of his heart to biopsy them and he said "they will put them back?  Or they will replace them with new pieces?  Or what? "  Life is pretty perfect with Logi in it.

Owen is currently doing virtual physical therapy and I need to get studying for exams this week.  Be safe, be healthy and for all those working in the front line of this pandemic.. .we love you!!  I am so excited to get my nursing degree and get out there to help. My time is coming...
